You’ve said a lot here and I’m not quite sure if any of these are actual questions or if you’re being hypothetical. Color will always be “tainted” by ambient light, so all you can do is be as accurate as possible in the first place. Control what you can.

Hi sir i have G7 camera audio port 3.5 mm jack and i want my audio through my camera what dives should i buy to get R/L xlr audio input to records straight in camera

I accept! 😅

Settings disappearing even after a reset is disconcerting. The ISO/WB etc. buttons; can you press and hold the button, and dial in a new setting? If so, that’s an option in the camera. You can choose to press or press-and-hold to change the setting. If that works, then that’s tells me that the reset isn’t working, or you’re not doing a full reset. If that’s not the case and you really are doing a full reset then it sounds like something is wrong with the camera, I’m sorry to say.

Anamorphic desqueeze in-camera is just the preview on screen. The image is still squeezed and needs to be de-squeezed in post. And yes the BGH1 has desqueeze features as well.

@@photojoseph thanks. and does it get squeezed with both anamorphic and normal lenzes?

@ hm, I think there’s a little confusion here. Let’s start from the top. Anamorphic is the lens, not the camera. The lens distorts the image; the glass elements aren’t round, but oval shaped, and through optics they distort the image - squeeze it - before it hits the sensor. The largest anamorphic lenses are a 2x squeeze, meaning that if you were to photograph a square, that square on the sensor would be squeezed 2x horizontally, meaning it’s now half as wide as it should be (½ as wide as it is tall). In software, you de-squeeze the image. Meaning you stretch it back out the same amount that the lens squeezed it in; in this case, 2x. Or alternatively you can compress the image vertically; that’s up to you and the point is you need to “un”-distort the image so a square becomes a square again. The desqueeze function in the camera is simply for monitoring, so that what you’re looking at on the LCD doesn’t appear distorted while you’re filming. But the captured image is always still squeezed. Does that make sense?

@@photojoseph thanks again! so in short it's only the lens that does the distorting. so if i use a normal lens on one of the anamorphic modes on my BGH1 nothing gets distorted, right?

Make sure the card isn’t in upside down. Too easy of a mistake to make.

@@photojoseph It was the right way, my mistake was in how I formatted the SD card. Now it works and is updated. However, I'm having issues connecting with my FX3-no input. Time to do some research on that. Also subscribed, seems like a good channel. :)

@ awesome. I’m sorry I can’t help you with the Sony; I’m not familiar with their cameras. And thank you for subscribing!

Really?! I’ve never heard anyone say that before. Or maybe once, long ago. Too funny!

Do you think it's a problem with the ISO mode, maybe killing memory in my computer? I never had ISO in ATEM and was excited to have that option for the RCV

the RCV recording is independent of the computer; after all it's not needed at all. Ensure your cameras and RCV are set to the same framerate to reduce the chance of frame rate conversions taxing the system, but offhand that's all I can think of. CHeck the frame rates, reboot everything and try again -- obviously you don't have to do a real live show, but I would stream to an unlisted show and go through the motions for an hour and see what happens. If it does happen again, definitely rach out to RØDE (or do it anyway) to see what they say. Oh, and make sure your SSD is clean and freshly formatted.

@@photojoseph Yeah, SSD was just reformatted and I will double check frame rates. I noticed it was running a little hot but the end and then noticed a fan vent on the bottom? Maybe it needed better ventilation? I will reach out to RØDE as well, good suggestion.

Do let me know what you find please!

That’s the kind of feedback that you should definitely share with Mevo!

Thanks! And no flying keys, sorry.

That’s so good to hear! I’ll share that with my friends at DxO!

Glad you enjoyed!

Yes - make all your macros, then start recording a new macro, and trigger each macro you want to trigger. It’ll basically just copy the code into the new one.

Haha yep, that’s all accurate! 😅 Thanks for the recognition!!

Awesome!

it's based on face tracking, so no, unfortunately.

@@photojoseph Thank you very much!

I’ll check it out! Sounds to me like the RØDECaster Video is the product you want. It’s pretty much tailor made for a video podcast setup. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ionSk6acq96GrMk

All true. But who’s streaming anamorphic, and the RØDE app is free. As someone said in the chat, this could be a precursor to things to come, i.e. wireless video through their app 🤷‍♂️

@profhaub For me not wanting to pay a monthly fee for Ecamm was a big reason. I really liked OBS but became gun shy of it when it crashed my Mac in a meeting. After that I try to off load any of the multi-camera stuff onto a different device (I was using ATEM Mini Pro before upgrading to the RCV).

That’s a good guideline. However the waveform monitor is what matters most. In a normal lit scene (i.e. not a dark, or night, scene), the top of the wave needs to not clip (other than speculation highlights which will always clip). My practice for run-and-gun shooting is to keep the brightest part of the scene at the top of the wave. Then, darken it in post.

@ thank you! too kind - I'll test it right away!💪🏻

Macros operate on the device itself while Companion requires an external computer to operate. ATEM has Companion support too, but you can’t do everything with Companion that you can do with macros. One isn’t necessarily better than the other. Having both is best. You can’t still automate more with an ATEM but having companion support for the RCV is huge.

@@photojoseph brillo.. I'm trying to get my head around a move from BM to RCV.. this Companion / Streamdeck support is huge.. might have to buy one to test.. trying to reduce the amount of geaer gathering dust lols.. the struggle is real..

@ I hear that!

The app has changed over the years. Export should do it.

@photojoseph awesome thanks so much :)

Thank you! 🙏

Nice!!

Is it easy to use?

Yes! Although you’re probably asking the OP 😅

@@petermcginty3636 Yes super easy to use!

You want to swap out the media… load a new file from the SD card into an already filled slot, right?

@ correct. Recently I did a live stream with 23 choir songs. Each song had a lower thirds title. After song 6 i quickly swapped out all the lower thirds on A to G for the next 7 songs in rode central. Would be great to have all 23 lower thirds on the Stream Deck without swapping out.

@RICH_Photography got it. I didnt look to see if that’s possible but it may be, since the media is already on the card and the RCV can read the media directly. Install it and have a look!

Every video that I have seen on the RCV has used the Rode coloured HDMI cables. Do you have to use Rode HDMI cables with the RCV?

Haha no - when RØDE sent out these review units they also sent a bunch of their colored HDMI cables. There’s nothing special about them; they’re just nice cables.

Glad you enjoyed it!

I have several extension tubes but I’ve never had one that moves, and even more importantly, starts at zero so you still get infinity focus. So cool!!

Right!

I think you can duplicate the layouts, make a change and then toggle between the two. I don’t have it up now but isn’t there a copy or duplicate command?

@@photojoseph All I see is reassign or delete. I tried reassign but it does remove the settings from the original button. Feels like I might be missing something?

@@photojoseph Got it - long press the next button and it copies (as long as it's empty)

Nice! That’s on the hardware itself? Did you look in the software?

@@photojoseph I tried it in the software and couldn't get it to replicate, but definitely on hardware it worked

The cameras don’t connect to the iPad. They connect to the WiFi network, as does the iPad. So range is dependent on your WiFi network. One with repeaters (i.e. a mesh network) will give you much greater range.

@ Thankyou very much indeed for your swift reply. I plan to search for missing dogs and am looking to use these to place in places near where it could be. The three live cameras will be used to give my subscribers the option to watch in real time and alert me if they spot the missing dog on any of the cameras.

Working on that. Disabling stabilization in camera helps in some tests. Need to do more testing though. I did a live show and tested which was interesting. You can review that; it’s chapter marked.

@@photojoseph ok thank you for the reply.

Amazing! Be sure to watch the video on the Brightin Star lens. I have some more great S9 tips in there

Have you tried 9.6.3 yet?

Since I installed 9.6.3, ATEM Software Control has not crashed or even terminated silently.

@ awesome. Same here!

Oh wow I’ve never heard of that happening before. Damn!!

It is.

@@photojosephI finally got around to installing 9.6.3 today - hopefully an improvement.

For this project; nothing. This is part of a workflow series and I needed _something_ to shoot. When I can, I prefer to shoot something more interesting than just some plastic bobbleheads on my desk.

If you’re usually remote, consider the RØDEcaster video or the YoloBox - I have dedicated videos on both products. Very different hardware to fill any specific need.

Awesome, and thanks!
